Secretly Dating your Improv Coach (w/ Edi Patterson)

Actress Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones) joins Nicole to talk about falling in love with her improv teacher, hiding their relationship from the world, and mistaking his proposal for a joke. She opens up about being a late bloomer in dating, throwing house parties that felt straight out of a '90s film, and the one dating lesson she learned from a kid that she wishes everyone would follow. Plus: ghosting guilt, cringey first date stories, 90 Day: Hunt for Love, and the time Nicole’s dog showed up on a stranger’s Instagram story.
